Dual steering position Steering Position Boats with dual steering positions feature a choice of two wheels to steer the boat with – one on the raised sun-deck and one inside the main cabin below. This means they are ideal for cruising in all weather conditions.

Aft steering position cockpit boats are steered from a position at the rear, with a view through the screen forward over the whole length of the craft. This means they are generally easier to maneuver than other configurations. A canopy with windows (similar to a convertible car’s soft-top roof) can be pulled forward to enclose the steering position for all-weather cruising. Aft cockpit boats tend to be smaller than other types- this and their ease of handling makes them a good choice for first-time boaters.

Centre steering position the wheel in these boats is in the main cabin in the middle of the cockpit area. Most styles of this design will have a large sliding canopy over this cabin – making it ideal for cruising in all weathers.

Forward steering position. As the name suggests, these boats feature the steering position right at the front, inside the main cabin area. This means that forward vision is very good. These boats usually feature a spacious and light interior and a single level deck which many parties find more convenient and easy. The key feature of this design is the large sliding canopy over this cabin – making it ideal for cruising in all weathers.

Tiller steering position. All narrowboats are steered by a tiller, a handle connected directly to the rudder at the back ('stern') of the boat. The steering position is in the open, and there are three types of stern.

What better way to see Venice than from the water, guiding your own craft through the Venetian lagoon? Bellissimo!

SileThe attraction for many to northeast Italy is undoubtedly Venice with its fabulous piazzas and grand architecture. Cruising either from Porto Levante or Casier, this stunning city is within easy reach, giving you plenty of time to soak up the history and splendour around you. Cruising north out of Venice takes you to the famous Lido di Jésolo, a string of well-developed beach resorts along 15 kilometres of golden sands, where you can dip your toe in the Mediterranean in Italian style.

Po DeltaIn the south of the region, the Po delta around Porto Levante is often overlooked as a holiday destination. Yet there is so much to enjoy in this beautiful area; ancient castles, monasteries and towers line the rivers, which flow sedately towards the sea. The ever-changing wetland shores are home to many indigenous and migratory species of birds and sealife (look out for basking turtles on the sandbanks), whilst the wooded coastline shares many interesting paths and cycle trails with the native red deer.Quite simply, there is a magic about Italy. Cruising the beautiful waterways, you'll be a part of it; see, hear, taste and feel it for yourself.

Regional food and drinkYou will always eat well in Italy, but the Veneto region has a few regional specialities that you can try during your time here. White asparagus and radicchio are both grown in the area, so feature heavily in many dishes. A regional variety of chicken, the Gallina Padovana, is also used in numerous tasty recipes. Prosecco, Valpolicella and Grappa are all produced here too, so you'll have no shortage of worthy drinks with which to toast the setting sun at the end of another perfect day.
